| Summary: | At several places of his work, the early Byzantine historian Ioannes Malalas mentions Huns as protagonists of historical events in the 2nd and 3rd century AD. In historical research, these passages were previously regarded as anachronisms. This study shows that Malalas did not substitute the Huns for other peoples such as the Parthians. The Huns in Malalas must be regarded as auxiliary forces of the Parthians, who settled at that time already in Central Asia. Malalas found the name of this people in texts related to these events, probably in Syrian sources that have not been preserved. |
